Nice with a few issues
Pretty pattern and fun design, but I wish I realized before renting that the torso had translucent areas. These parts had no liner and the fabric was very thing and unfortunately tore while I was dancing. I managed it with safety pins, but it really brought down the quality of the dress.

Oddly fitting top
Cute dress. Sized up so that it would fit in waist, based on previous reviews, but then the top was too large. Not something I'm accustomed to as a 34D!

Great fabric, terrible fit
Loved that the fabric was a good quality. It allowed the skirt to lay well, and the pockets were fantastic. Unfortunately, even though I sized up to the size recommended to me by RTR, I couldn't zip the top.

Great pattern
Cute top, easy to wear with jeans or something dressier. Very lightweight. Keyhole could slide down and be a little low, so had to keep an eye on that.

Wore to a work event
Beautiful pattern and great quality. Runs VERY small. Normally wear an 8, but based on reviews, rented 12 and 14. Wore the 14 and it was still a little snug in the waist. Enjoyed the dress, though!

Unfortunately unflattering.
I rented this as I loved how it looked on others, but did not enjoy how it looked on me and ended up wearing my other option. Stretchy fabric showed the outline of my strapless bra very prominently. Dress was tight around waist yet overly loose at the top (surprising as I'm a D cup). Top wouldn't lay flat and since there's no zipper, it was difficult to get over my head given the tight waist and sleeves. Really wanted to like it, and I think I would if it was made out of a different fabric.

Gorgeous dress
Loved the structure of this dress: top was well made and had built in boning and a hook inside. Neck has two loops so is slightly adjustable. Skirt falls really well. I normally wear an 8 and the 10 was tight, so definitely size up at least for your backup dress size. I'm 5'1" and still felt the tea length was good on me. I appreciate that this dress is supportive for a D cup as well!

Got lots of compliments!
Great dress for work, really cute. Unfortunately, the slit in the top is so low I had to wear a cami under it. It would NOT have been appropriate for any traditional office without it (on me, at least). I like that the cuffs mean that the sleeves aren't too long for my short arms. :) Fabric has no give, so make sure not to order it too small!

Great dress!
Runs a little small, probably would have done better with the large, but it's a great thick material and a great look. Would rent again with a size up.

Great dress, but neckline was TOOOOOO low.
Well-made dress, very detailed, and had an expensive feel. However, the neckline came down to where my bra touches my rib cage in the center, and looked a little silly when I tried wearing a cami underneath. Ended up not wearing, which I'm super bummed about. It just looked inappropriate for the event I needed it for.

Very flattering
This dress was sent to me when one of the ones I ordered was lost by FedEx. I appreciate how fast RTR went this one! The waist is very flattering, and the cut is easy to wear. The lining was a little worn and had a few small holes, but it couldn't be seen while wearing.

Curiously large armholes
As others have stated, the armholes are rather large and tend to show even a strapless bra. I pinned the sides of the top to my strapless bra as the dress was showing too much otherwise. Other than that, it's a great dress that I enjoyed wearing to a bachelorette party. I received plenty of compliments, and when the dress was delivered by FedEx to the wrong address, I appreciated that RTR sent me another one almost immediately!!!

Got lots of compliments!
This dress has a great weight to the fabric, & I love that it's made in the USA. I tied the sleeves before putting the dress on & didn't have trouble with them. Based on reviews, I asked for the Medium & Large, but I do wish I had the small to compare it to. The medium fit a little large but worked. I would love to buy this dress if it's ever offered!

Great embroidery!
This dress was sent when the one I ordered wasn't available. I'm not sure I would have selected it for myself, but it ended up being a nice dress. The embroidery feels rich. It's a little snug without much give, so I wouldn't recommend sizing down. The lining would ride up a bit when seated, so be careful with that!

Great Cocktail party dress!
I couldn't tell a difference between the 8 & 10 in size (either by trying them on or holding them up together). The lining was a little shorter than the lace, but not terribly so. I wore them with tights as they were a little short overall for my taste. Overall, it's a nice, bright red and I received some compliments.

Great for work or a party!
This dress is a beautiful color and has a great drape to it. The zipper doesn't have a clasp at the top, and started going down once, but I had no other problems with the dress.

Wore this to my rehearsal dinner
LOVELY dress. As others have said, the flowers need to be ironed down... I covered them w/ a handkerchief to not burn the delicate fabric. My biggest problem is that the dresses I was sent all obviously had non-professional repairs made to them. RTR sent me 3 sizes due to one of my original dresses not being available, and all 3 had different buttons on them, 1 had obviously been taken up in the waist (the 8 was 2 inches shorter than the 6 or the 10) and 1 had non-matching thread repairing the illusion neckline. I LOVE this dress, but think they've all been worn enough for RTR to closely examine them before sending them out again, or it's time to retire them.

wore to family wedding
Great, thick dress with pockets. As others have said, the double pleat makes it a little hippy. As a petite, the v-neck was also a little lower than I had anticipated. I enjoyed wearing this dress, though.
